  • Exchanging Steps
  • Find out more

Explore the idea of exchange as it takes place inside a dance studio, and discover how dance moves travel through history and across borders

Join us at Tate Exchange for two interactive dance workshops:

  • Embodied Exchanges
  • Exchanging Steps

Embodied Exchanges

16.00 – 18.00

What does it mean to exchange ideas and movements in the dance studio?

The dance studio functions as a site where bodies exchange movement, touch, feelings, weight, rhythm, sweat and sometimes tears. Test how the dance studio becomes a microcosm for all types of exchanges that mirror the historical, social and political world around us.

Exchanging Steps

18.00 – 20.00

Discover dance moves from our industrial past and explore how folk dances travel between people and across borders.

Enter a world with a specific history, special language and distinctive relationship to the body.

Explore how a single dance can be taken up beyond its local practice through body to body transmission and how folk or social dances travel across borders.

These events are programmed by Royal Holloway, University of London, a Tate Exchange Associate.
